Creating a Fusion Scenario that acts like Bulk Assignments

Avatar

Level 3

I'm in the middle of creating a fusion scenario that acts like the bulk assignments tool that you would find in the workload balancer.  However, we want to build a scenario that updates all of the correlating task assignments based on a typeahead field found on a project level form. Once the project level typeahead field is filled out, the correlating task assignments in the project would update with that users name, wherever the associated job role would appear.  The issue I'm running into is how to connect the project level typeahead field to those task assignment roles. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The way we did it which was messy was:

 

#1 Typeheard_Role_Assignment field on the project. (A)

 

then

#2 Calculated field User ID of #1 on the project 

 

then

#3 Calculated field equal to #2 on a task form

 

then

#4 have it reference the task assignment to the calculated field. 

 

I know there's a reference in there the fusion data structure that 

Role Name = Role ID

 

then

#5 for Role ID xyz use UserID etc.

this portion throughs me off:

 

#2 Calculated field User ID of #1 on the project 

 

then

#3 Calculated field equal to #2 on a task form

 

Are you saying that I need to create a calculated field on both the project and task level that captures the results of the #1  typeahead field?

There may be an easier way to do it, but the reason for the calculated field on the task is because I wasn't able to reference the project's typehead value from the task without it being a calculated field.
